Gurgaon
B

Thari
Correct Option:
A
Explanation
In 2015, the Haryana government announced that Gurgaon, now officially called Gurugram, would be developed as a smart city through the state's own initiative. This is distinct from the cities selected under the Union Government's Smart Cities Mission. Gurgaon was already a major corporate, information-technology and urban-development centre, making it a natural candidate for such development.
